Hi all,
one more question regarding my KVM tests:
Does anybody know wether i can specifiy the virtio_net driver and interface for
a kvm machine in SLES parmfile to automate the startup of the installer image?
Manual definition and dhcp networking via http are working without any problem.
But i want to configure the installer image by passing the instserver
information via parmfile. Problem is, that during processing of the parmfile a
network device is required. But using manual=1 skips this requirement.
See massages below:
Starting hardware detection... ok
(If a driver is not working for you, try booting with
brokenmodules=driver_name.)
Virtio Storage 0
drivers: virtio_blk*
Virtio Ethernet Card 0
drivers: virtio_net*
Please select the type of your network device.
1) OSA-2 or OSA Express
2) Hipersockets
--------------------
3) Channel To Channel (CTC)
4) ESCON
5) Inter-User Communication Vehicle (IUCV)
